My
friend Ron invited me to have a meet up at Chops Chicago Steakhouse in East Wing of
Shangri La Plaza Mall. I told him I have tried Chops before but that was from a
different branch which is located in Greenbelt 5 in Makati City. I told him
that the food here in Chops is a bit expensive because they offer steaks, well
usually the specialty of this restaurant is steak.
But then he said that
there are some affordable food available and we can order it right away. I
gave him an evil smirk and then I got the idea to do a food blog about
Chops.
Here’s
the food on our table, you might thought that the price range of some food here
are around PHP300 – PHP 500.
But as you can see the only expensive food
here is the steak and a bottle of wine.
But what about the others???
hmmm. I requested for the receipt and I was blown away that some of the food on
our table are priced at PHP 180 to PHP 375 only!!
oh wow!! Okay, I will
feature that here in my blog so that you can have an idea that not all posh
restaurants serves expensive food, they also offer budget food..
But
before I show you the food.
Let’s do a virtual walk through of Chops Chicago
Steakhouse
Here’s the entrance
View
of the dining area.
Chops
Shangri La Plaza opened after a few years when Chops Makati was opened.
You
can read my old blog post here at
http://azraelsmerryland.blogspot.com/2013/01/chops-chicago-steakhouse-in-makati.htmlMy
table set up at Chops
Your
only weapon of choice. You’ll need this when a steak arrives on your
plate.
And here’s the menu.
Just click the photo to read the
menu
and now..here are the food in its affordable
kind
I
only have 5 kinds of food on the table. You might think that they are normal
food here in Chops. But I have to admit that these food are no ordinary. For me
they are extra ordinary, because the flavor just blown me away.
I have
some favorite food and also food that I hate to eat, but I was celebrating
a no-pasta day that day, but I have no choice but to eat and try their pasta
here in Chops.
Every
customer they always serve this complimentary garlic bread with cheese
dip.
Its your free appetizer while waiting for the arrival of your
food.
The preparation can be around 10-15min. depending on the kind of
food you order.
eat
me!!!
Caesar
Salad
PHP 295
Here’s your veggie and bacon mix salad.
I’m
so happy because they put lots of crushed bacon as toppings for our salad.
Lucky
Luciano
PHP 375
a Pasta with ground angus fennel meatballs, spicy
garlic sausage, Italian gravy with melted Parmesan cheese
I
did some research and I think Chops already changed the look of their Lucky
Luciano. From linguini, their Lucky Luciano is now a lasagna kind.
Truffle
Mac n Chiz
PHP 180
Oh my Food!! this is my favorite here in Chops.
The aroma of the truffle in this Mac n Chiz is very tempting. I tried to avoid
this because I want to hug the rib eye steak on my plate, but the aroma will
just keep you out of focus and will tempt you for a nice bite.
With
an affordable price of PHP 180.
I can order two Mac n Chiz for me and devour
this with lots of truffle love.
Smoked
Bacon and Brocolli
PHP 180
Another affordable food here in
Chops.
The bacon meat was soaked on oil and also smoked juice of the meat.
It’s a bit spicy because of the gravy with lots of pepper. It’s a good pair for
a beer or wine.
I
can order this with a nice Mac n Chiz.
Its only PHP 180 each.
Rib
Eye steak 10oz.
PHP 1,250
No one leaves our table when this steak
arrives hahaha. Its like holy grail of food on our table. We just enjoyed the
affordable meal first and then took a bite of this rib eye steak after bathing
it with their gravy.
Oh man… its like I’m in heaven hahaha.;
Its
always good in medium rare cooking.
Dark
Chocolate Cigars
PHP 290
I highly promoted this dark choco cigars. Its
not really a cigar, but it’s a barquillos wrapped in choco and with cream
filling and white choco.
Edel
ordered this, I forgot what its called.
It’s a vanilla ice cream with dark
chocolate at the bottom.
It comes with a dark choco cigar.
Its one of
the best line of choco temptations here in Chops
Ahahaha.
cigar is bad to your health… but for the dark choco cigar..its best for your
heart
Ron,
Isabel and Edel
Thanks
Ron for the treat!
Ron got the royal throne to cut this rib eye for us
hahaha.
Good
times at Chops.
Feel free to visit their branch in Greenbelt 5 in Makati
and here in Shangri La Plaza East Wing in Mandaluyong City
See
